The Node.js Foundation members use this bot to help manage the repositories of the GitHub organization.

It executes scripts in response to events that are pushed to it via GitHub webhooks. All repositories that use this bot have the same webhook url & secret configured (there is only 1 bot instance). Org-wide webhooks are not allowed.

Please do, contributions are more than welcome! See CONTRIBUTING.md.

• GITHUB_TOKEN
  The GitHub API token for your account (or bot account) that will be used to make API calls to GitHub. The account must have proper access to perform the actions required by your script.
• GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET
  The webhook secret that GitHub signs the POSTed payloads with. This is created when the webhook is defined. The default is hush-hush.
• JENKINS_WORKER_IPS
  List of valid Jenkins worker IPs allowed to push PR status updates, split by comma: 192.168.1.100,192.168.1.101.
• JENKINS_API_CREDENTIALS (optional)
  For scripts that communicate with Jenkins on http://ci.nodejs.org. The Jenkins API token is visible on your own profile page https://ci.nodejs.org/user/<YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME>/configure, by clicking the "show API token" button. Also See: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Authenticating+scripted+clients
• JENKINS_JOB_URL_<REPO_NAME> (optional)
  Only required for the trigger Jenkins build script, to know which job to trigger a build for when repository collaborator posts a comment to the bot. E.g. JENKINS_JOB_URL_NODE=https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request
• JENKINS_BUILD_TOKEN_<REPO_NAME> (optional)
  Only required for the trigger Jenkins build script. The authentication token configured for a particular Jenkins job, for remote scripts to trigger builds remotely. Found on the job configuration page in Build Triggers -> Trigger builds remotely (e.g., from scripts).
• LOGIN_CREDENTIALS
  Username and password used to protected the log files exposed in /logs. Expected format: username:password.
• KEEP_LOGS
  Number of days to keep rotated log files, defaults to 10 if not set.
• LOGS_DIR
  Directory where logs should be written and exposed by the /logs endpoint.

The bot will try to load a .env file at the root of the project if it exists to set environment varaibles. You will need to create one similar to this:

GITHUB_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SSE_RELAY=https://hook-relay.example.com

Note the additional SSE_RELAY variable: When developing locally, it is difficult to setup a GitHub webhook pointing to the computer you are developing on. An easy workaround is to set the SSE_RELAY to the url of a SSE relay server that will send the GitHub events via Server Sent Events instead. Another option is to use ngrok.

You can use the TestOrgPleaseIgnore GitHub Organization, to test your changes. Actions performed on the repos there will be sent to the SSE Relay. If you use your own Organization/Repository, remember to set the webhook Secret to the same value as GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET (default hush-hush), and to change the content type to application/json (default on the GitHub interface is application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which will not work with the bot).

The GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET environment variable is not required when using the relay.

Run the bot:

$ npm start

When developing a script, it is likely that you will only want to run the script(s) that you are working on. You may pass an additional glob argument to specify which scripts to run.

$ SCRIPTS=./scripts/my-new-event-handler.js npm start
